Delta State Police Begin Tinted Glass, Siren Ban Enforcement from Oct. 2

The Delta State Police Command has announced that it will begin full enforcement of the ban on tinted vehicle glass, unauthorized sirens, and improper number plates starting Thursday, October 2, 2025.

According to a report obtained from PUNCH, the enforcement will take place across Delta State in line with federal laws and directives.

In a statement signed by the Command’s spokesperson, Bright Edafe, the police said the clampdown would cover unauthorized use of sirens, revolving or strobe lights, as well as defacing or obstructing number plates by private individuals and non-entitled officials.

“All unauthorised sirens and flashing lights should be removed without delay. Number plates must remain clear, legible, and properly affixed at all times; no bending, flipping, tinting, covering, sticker obstruction, or any alteration that renders them unreadable is permitted,” the statement partly read.

The Commissioner of Police, Abaniwonda Olufemi, assured the public that the enforcement would be carried out with professionalism and respect for citizens’ rights.

“These measures are intended to curb road intimidation, strengthen deterrence, and improve public safety,” he said.

Olufemi further directed Area Commanders and Divisional Police Officers to supervise the exercise closely, ensuring civility in all engagements.

The Command also urged motorists to carry their driver’s licence, proof of insurance, and vehicle ownership documents at all times, while advising the public to report misconduct by officers through the Complaint Response Unit using the numbers provided.
